NBS Bibliotalk Features David Hill, American Numismatic Society (ANS) Librarian
The latest episode of the NBS quarterly podcast, featuring ANS Librarian David Hill, is now posted. This wide-ranging interview, conducted by Lianna Spurrier, provides
listeners with an inside view of the ANS library, which has remained engaged during the COVID-19 shutdown. Hill covers his background as a historian and archivist and explains how
he came to succeed Elizabeth Hahn Benge as the ANS Librarian. Hill feels a kinship with previous ANS librarians and has written brief biographies of several of his predecessors in
the ANS Magazine.
This interview discusses a variety of ANS archival holdings, including the Virgil Brand ledgers and Chapman brothers' correspondence. More recently, ANS acquired papers of
Del Bland, Eric Newman, and George Kolbe. The Chapman correspondence in particular is currently being curated and scanned by Lara Jacobs under the sponsorship of Newman Numismatic
Portal, and its organization and accessibility will be greatly improved as a result of this effort. Hill concludes with remarks about ANS library acquisitions, space, and scanning
activities.
